Majority of gas worth $19 billion transited Palestinian waters without Palestine’s consent while Palestine received nothing for it

A 2022 gas deal between Israel, Egypt and the EU could make the EU complicit in breaches of international law, according to legal experts, Global Witness can reveal.

The route for this gas from Israel to the EU relies on a pipeline, operated in part by US oil giant Chevron, which crosses Palestinian territory without regard for international conventions.
